I've been out nearly all day up to now but had to pop back and see how this thread was doing.

I have never worn a ribbon either Garinda but I'd be more than happy to wear this one. If we could go for ribbons and wristbands it would be great because the ribbons have more visual impact and would be more likely to be worn by an adult whereas children are more likely to go for the wristband.

I totally agree that we shouldn't be put off by the people who are looking for all the reasons why it wouldn't work. Nothing would ever get done if everyone did that.

Good for you Gayle in your hunt for funding. That's brilliant. Even if we don't get financial backing from the Observer it wowuld make a good story for the paper and then it may just get noticed outside of our (Hyndburn) community too.

I like the "Not in my name" suggestion for a slogan. Firstly for the reasons Margaret says but it can also stand for retaliations on innocent muslims not being done in the name of non-muslims who are against that too. So it would be an all-encompassing statement for peace.

We MUST succeed with this!

Margaret and Mani, I can't give either of you karma because I'm told I have to spread it around a bit more first.
